Our french friends love to email Power Point presentations that are meant to work like chain-letters. Most are forgettable and corny and never amount to much. I generally delete them and move on. One exception was perhaps that one, titled: “Secret for aging beautifully.” I liked it, felt I could use its precepts and decided to share it with you. I goes like this:
- Happiness can be summed up in these words: Before middle-age, be fearless! Past middle-age, have no regret!
- Enjoy life while you can: Don't wait till you can no longer walk for feeling sad and regretful. While it's still possible, visit the places you wish to see.
- Take advantage of the time that's left for getting together with old school mates, work colleagues, buddies and friends.
- Whatever food you crave for, eat it! Feeling good is what's important!
- Face sickness with optimism. Rich or poor, everyone comes to the world, ages, falls ill and dies. Address your concerns beforehand and you'll live regret-free!
- If worrying is therapeutic, do it. I worrying might extend your life, do it. I you'd rather trade your worries for happiness, do it!
- Protect your treasures
Your body: Pay attention to your health, you're the only one who can.
Your mate: Treasure the moments spent with your sweetheart, one of you will go first.
Your savings: Keep the money you earned for yourself.
Your friends: Take every opportunity to meet and talk to them as these will become increasingly rare over time.
- Never forget to smile and laugh every single day.
Like water under the bridge, time never returns. So is life; go happily with the flow.
